A high-level management government job might be nice because they do nothing and get paid plenty to do it, but come spend a few years on the front lines of government employment. A lot of fun to be vilified by both the public and your supervisors, and be underpaid to boot.

“If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it to themselves.” – Joseph Lane Kirkland
And on the worth of management:
“Why does our culture consider supervising good work more deserving of respect and remuneration than doing good work?” – Kevin Throop
